You have to find the angle of sunlight and the pole , which then cast a shadow
length of the pole is equal to 3.1m
creating a hypotenuse of 4.52m
the angle will be
[email protected] = opposite side / hypotenuse
= 1.46/4.52
= 0.32 that's 18.66 °
now for the building sin18.66° = opposite/hypotenuse
0.32 = 36.75/ hypotenuse
hypotenuse = 114.84 m
thus using Pythagoras theorem
114.84*114.84 = 36.75*36.75 + x^2
which comes around = 108.8 roughly 109 metres long

Which of the following is an extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5? x = –8 x = –2 x = 2 x = 8
Gnom [1K]

The extraneous solution of startroot 4 x 41 endroot = x 5 will be A. -8.

<h3>What is an extraneous solution?</h3>

It should be noted that an extraneous solution simply means a root of a transformed equation which isn't part of the original equation.

✓4x + 41 = x + 5

Square both sides

4x + 41 = x² + 10x + 25

x² + 6x - 16

x(x + 8) - 2(x + 8) = 0

x + 8 = 0

x= 0 + 8 = 8
